It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were seated there going over the weekend's sports, ready for the sixth job that day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Greylake and put petrol in her diesel luxury Mercedes SLK55 AMG rental by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel cream VW Touareg 2 in Greylake. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a country lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only got it a few days back after my former car, which I had used for more than thirty years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious Somerset lady!

This really was the graveyard shift. It was about 3 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had become quite quiet so far, and me and Paul were sitting around looking through a number of old magazines. It was an unusual quiet hour in Somerset. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that the moment the telephone rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone explained: "I just finished my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel beloved Seat Alhumbra by mistake". I told him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we set off, ending up in Greylake under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so promptly. While we were coming back home we found two girls at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
